    They will be very brave to make it another white male, that's for sure.

    I'd accept Jodie Comer if a progressive Bond is deemed necessary for the Millennials to keep buying tickets.

    I hope it's a trans person or something just to annoy everyone. Films haven't been good since the 70s anyway.

    Have to disagree James Bond 007 is a male character that's it. Enough with this girl power trans power or what ever ****e you call it. Id rather they stop making them then recast it to a female.

    They should put bond on ice for along time...maybe 5-10 years...

    Like the transition from dalton to brosnan...

    James Bond is a white male.
    If the character has to be changed to meet some supposed societal expectation then the next Superman should be a gender fluid woman from a minority background and the next Wonder woman a man.

    Trans, mixed race, dyslexic blind person in a wheelchair is the only option..... Who has mental health issues (obviously)

    The joy of the bond character is you can fly in the face of the woke brigade if you want to as that's the character , that's its history and the woke brigade may be vocal but they are not numerous , go woke go broke has been proven by many films at this stage .
    Examples . Charlie's angels reboot , Ghostbusters reboot etc.

    At a minimum they should be dead.

    He's a quintessential British man, and that is a huge part of his character. Losers out there who just cannot accept it as a piece of good fiction that would not be the same if it was changed.

    And it's just so obvious of a suggestion, why? for the sake of it? Why can't there just be a character or franchise formulated around the actress(es) they're trying to shoehorn in? Like, let them have their own thing. What's the point if an existing character is going to be changed around that much, just make a new one!

    If you want a strong trans character, create one. Don't chisel another existing character to fit it. James Bond in essence is meant to be a broken down trodden man. He's not something to aspire to.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,596 ✭✭✭the_pen_turner


    007 james bond is a man. why change that. if they want to change things up a bit they should show other agents. 005 can be a woman, 003 a trans, 009 a native american etc. its a 3 no code so there is literly 998 other posible agents out there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,424 ✭✭✭✭EmmetSpiceland


    Obviously, the next Bond should be an angry, heavyset, pimply, neckbeard who only “kills” on computer games, is obsessed with American, and identity, politics and who both fears and hates women.

    An unhealthy “interest” in cage fighting and WWF wrestling would be a requirement.

    They remade ghostbusters with an all female cast.
    It was the worst fcukin thing ever made.
    Some things just need to be left alone


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,503 ✭✭✭✭Mad_maxx


    they should kill off Bond




    say that as a huge fan of the series

    That script and direction would still have been a **** film even if they had cast Samuel L Jackson, Robert DeNiro, Al Pacino and Denzel Washington.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,588 ✭✭✭touts


    For that new Batman TV series they killed off Bruce Wayne and made the character a gay woman. It was so bad even the lead actress packed it in.

    Some characters are so gender specific to redefine them destroys the whole character. If that upsets the Woke generation then they should just not watch the movie.

    Why. I agree James Bond should be a man and keep him want to bed every woman but why should the color really matter with how good the movie is. Its true some people really want to be offended

    As suggested above, expanding the franchise to other double O agents could be a good move for the franchise.

    My suggestion would be Amber heard for 009

    Not sure why she is 9 :-/

    James Bond's character was a white male, why mess with it?

    Imagine the uproar if there was a film about Martin Luther King or Nelson Madella and they cast a white man just to be more inclusive.

    The vast majority of people do not care about the colour of someone's skin, they just care what the person is like.

    Most of the common day efforts regarding inclusivity only appear to be highlighting differences and creating further division.

    If I was given the task of re-booting Bond yet again, I'd do a period piece set in the cold war and cast a young actor in the role. Give people the escapism they want, set in the most suitable world for it. The latter Craig film's were even omitting the high tech gadgets and returning to simplicity. If Bond belongs in the past, set him in the past....

    Otherwise create a new franchise and do what you like.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 9,078 ✭✭✭IAMAMORON


    They need to make it more camp like the Roger Moore ones. I am not into the kickboxing if I am being honest.

    More hot babes - being very submissive and immune to polarised sexist innuendo - in short , more " oh James " please, with silk cocktail dress dropping to the floor stuff.

    Someone with a cheeky smile to deliver all the sexist off hand remarks. Also needs to look sexy driving a sport car or throwing a grenade.

    If they lose the mandatory car chase through a fruit and vegetable market I am out.

    I reckon Snoop Doggy Dog would be ideal.

    With da double O seven.

    Ms


    How about they start a new one spy in the next bond movie call her 006 or 009 and start a load of films on her and still have Bond as well that way everyone would be happy and could have them crossover a bit too once she gets established.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.
